Phyllo Dough Pizza Recipe For Veggie Pizza

Quick and Easy Recipe: Pizza Recipe for Vegetable Pizza

If you're looking for a quick and easy recipe for dinner, lunch or snacks, this pizza recipe for vegetable pizza will make your day!

I made up this recipe the other night when I was in a hurry to make something quick and easy for dinner but only had an assortment of vegetables on hand, frozen, fresh and canned.

I basically set out the ingredients I had on hand, thought about the combination and added them to a pizza dough portion I had thawed out in the fridge.

The thing about vegetable pizza is that you can make many combinations and have it taste great. It's all a matter of knowing what goes with what and jumping off from there to create your own quick and easy favorite.

If using homemade pizza crust, make sure pizza dough is thawed and is at room temperature for about an hour.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Spread dough on lightly greased pizza pan dusted with a wee bit of cornmeal. I use 1 portion of pizza dough and stretch it to fit a very large pizza pan. This gives you a delicious but thin pizza crust. Just be mindful of it not cooking too quickly if you have made a thin crust.

Use a couple tablespoons of pesto sauce to spread/smear on the pizza crust. I added just enough to create a background flavor of garlic and basil.

Sprinkle feta cheese over pizza crust.

Using shears or cutting with a knife, chunk up the artichoke hearts and place on pizza crust.

If you have the time to make your own dough, try my great recipe for pizza dough that I make in my KitchenAid mixer. I adapted it from the recipe in Cooking Light magazine so that I would not have to knead it by hand.

This recipe freezes fantastically. I spray freezer bags with cooking spray, then slip half of the recipe into the freezer bags. When I need a piece of dough, I just let it thaw in the refrigerator and then bring to room temp before using. This dough has fabulous flavor and is a great background for your pizzas.

You can also purchase bags of pizza dough at your local Trader Joe's or of course buy fresh or frozen doughs in many forms.

For something really unique, use phyllo dough for the crust. See my great recipe for phyllo dough pizza as well for ideas on toppings. You can use phyllo dough to improvise a crust for a round pizza as well. You just need to overlap layers of phyllo dough and trim to fit the pizza pan. It makes for a deliciously light crust (in terms of taste and calories).

Let imagination be your guide when it comes to toppings for vegetable pizzas. You can also divide the dough into halves or thirds and make personal pizzas. These make great lunch or brunch treats or is a great way to please everyone in terms of the vegetables that you use on each one.

Pizza can be wonderfully creative project for people of all ages. See what great combos you can come up with. I usually look at the pizza recipes that are popular on the Internet every once in a while, note any favorites and then go on to make my own creations with ingredients I like best.

If you try to use mostly fresh ingredients or homemade ingredients, you can control the fat, sugar and sodium in your pizza and you can make your pizzas in less time than it takes to order them over the phone and have them delivered!

OMG Micky - you are too hilarious - that's why you go with lots and lots of veggies and THIN CRUST my man!

Great hub! I love pizza but I can only eat it rarely. It makes my rear-end swell up.

akirchner 6 years ago from Central Oregon Author

Glad you liked it Katie - I just have started throwing things together to see if they work and thankfully, they do!

katiem2 6 years ago from I'm outta here

Okay, now your talking my food! I'm a veggie lover and eat primarily nothing but, add a few fruits and grains. BUT veggie pizza and trader joes products, my favorite store, hands down loving this hub the most! Your quick and easy recipe for vegetable pizza is a keeper. Thanks, I'll put this on the menu for this week, the girls will be pleasantly surprised. :)

Suziecat7 - I love anything with artichoke hearts and if I add those, I naturally go to kalamata olives and feta cheese. Me thinks I might be Greek under all this German and Danish skin!

Oh - artichoke hearts - yum.

You already know, Audrey, that I am not a lover of vegetables but I do love pizza. So I planned to follow your lip-smacking, mouth-watering recipe but the only foods on your list of ingredients that I enjoy, besides the crust, are mushrooms and mozzarella cheese.

So I phoned in my order for a cheese and mushroom pizza and it should arrive momentarily. Thank you for providing the impetus and whetting my appetite.

Your welcome akirchner, the sad part is i have now read every one of your linked pizza idea's and contemplating putting an order through to dominoes!

akirchner 6 years ago from Central Oregon Author

Zimsabre - Isn't that just so? I get so hungry for desserts when I see folks' posts and I'm not even a dessert eater per se! Thanks for stopping by!

zimsabre 6 years ago

Why do i get so hungry every time I browse hubpages? .. O I know its because of hubs like this!

akirchner 6 years ago from Central Oregon Author

Thanks, Ken as always for stopping by - and we are partial to organic foods as well. Love making my own pizza as I don't feel quite so guilty for indulging then from time to time! It's a great way to control the amount of everything going into the pizza and I even got my mom hooked on my pizzas. Now that's saying something!

Well my dear you couldn't have picked a better meal to make. I love pizza and much prefer vegetable pizza over others. I basically eat Organic foods and this was a great hub for making one of my favorite snacks.

Slaw...I will have to roll some dough and get cracking with the ingredients. There are so many types of veggies one can add. Loved the videos, everything mouth watering good. Great hub Rated UP for sure.
